New York Times bestselling author Rachel Hauck's Once Upon a Prince is the story of an ordinary girl crossing paths with a royal prince that inspired the Hallmark Original movie of the same name.
"With only a subtle nod to Cinderella, this modern and engaging tale follows the budding relationship of an American Southern girl and a pseudo-Brit prince . . . Hauck fans will find a gem of a tale." --Publishers Weekly starred review
Susanna Truitt never dreamed of a great romance or being treated like a princess--just to marry the man she has loved for twelve years. But life isn't going according to plan. When her high-school-sweetheart-turned-Marine-officer breaks up with her instead of proposing, Susanna scrambles to rebuild her life.
The last thing Prince Nathaniel expects to find on his American holiday to St. Simons Island is the queen of his heart. The prince has duties, and his family's tense political situation means he won't be able to marry for love or even choose his own bride.
When Prince Nathaniel stops to help Susanna, who is stranded with a flat tire under the fabled Lover's Oak, he is immediately enchanted by her. And even though he's a total stranger, Susanna finds herself pouring her heart out to him.
Their lives are worlds apart, and soon Nathaniel must face the ultimate choice: his kingdom or her heart?
Perfect for fans of royal romance and cozy Hallmark charm, Once Upon a Prince is an enchanting modern-day fairy tale brimming with heart, destiny, and swoon-worthy tension (but without the spice). Includes discussion questions for book clubs.
